Veg cutlet recipe

Vegetable cutlets are delicious and crispy snacks made with a mix of vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a blend of spices. Here's a recipe to make veg cutlets:



Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, corn), boiled and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for shallow frying

For the coating:

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Bread crumbs for coating

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped vegetables, onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, bread crumbs, and salt. Mix well to form a uniform mixture.
  2. Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into round or oval cutlets.
  3. In a small bowl, make a batter by combining all-purpose flour (maida) and water. The consistency should be thick yet pourable.
  4. Dip each cutlet into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly on all sides.
  5. Roll the cutlet in bread crumbs, pressing gently so that the bread crumbs adhere to the surface.
  6. Place the coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the cutlets hold their shape while frying.
  7. Heat oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd.
  9. Fry the cutlets until they turn golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip and fry the other side.
  10. Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  11. Repeat the frying process with the remaining cutlets.
  12. Serve the veg cutlets hot with ketchup or mint chutney.

Veg cutlets make for a delightful snack or appetizer, and they can be enjoyed on their own or in a burger bun as a veggie burger patty. They are also a great option for parties or as a tea-time treat. Enjoy the crispy and flavorful veg cutlets!
